Solution

The correct option is C Steroid
Hormones produced by gonads i.e., testis and ovary are steroid in chemical nature. The natural steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol in the gonads and adrenal glands. These forms of hormones are lipids. They can pass through the cell membrane as they are fat soluble, and then bind to steroid hormone receptors.
